Celebrating our female voice – Voices from the Free State

02 August 2021 | Story Dr Nitha Ramnath | Photo Supplied

In this special Women’s Month edition of the Voices from the Free State podcast series, we elevate and celebrate our female voices.

Likeleli Monyamane takes us through her journey as a student at the UFS. Founder of Inspire Innovation Business Consultants, Likeleli is a chartered accountant based in Lesotho, with a deep passion for skills development and mentorship.

A passion for evidence-based medicine and the notion of value in healthcare is what drives Dr Anchen Laubscher. Anchen is driven to ensure that healthcare is scientifically proven, of high quality, cost-effective, and tailored to a patient’s needs.

Karla’s story is one of determination, and her success is the result of two decades of hard work. Although netball is not a professional sport in South Africa and athletes don’t get paid for it – quitting was never an option for Karla Pretorius.

Enjoy these inspiring stories here as we celebrate our female voices from the Voices from the Free State podcast series.

Johan Fourie received his B.Acc. Hons. degree on Thursday 29 March 2012. Johan, who has multiple sclerosis, said he had had enough of studying for now. He joined the firm HRV Consulting Services Incorporated in Bloemfontein as a clerk this year and hoped to complete his apprenticeship during the next three years.

Regarding the greatest challenge during his years of study, Johan said it was a lot of work and very little time. When asked about the accessibility of classrooms, he said if a classroom was inaccessible, his lecturers would make a plan to move the class to another venue.

Here he is with Prof. Hendri Kroukamp, the Dean of the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, and his very proud mother, Mrs Annatjie Fourie.
